Dave Foley joins CTV’s ‘Spun Out’

The Kids in the Hall actor has been cast as the lead in Spun Out, an upcoming Bell Media pilot for CTV, announced in a press release on Tuesday.

“I am delighted to be returning to the multi-cam, live audience, sitcom world and to my hometown,” Foley said.

The half-hour comedy stars Paul Campbell (Battlestar Galactica) as Beckett Ryan, “a disgraced writer who ends up working at a public relations firm after suffering his own PR disaster.” The show focuses on the strange cases the firm takes on, and the funny failures of its dysfunctional colleagues. It marks the first multi-camera sitcom pilot for Bell Media.

“We are thrilled to have Dave anchoring an amazing cast of established sitcom actors and emerging stars,” said executive producer Andrew Barnsley. “Newsradio was one of our touchstones when developing the show, so having its star on board is truly an honour.”
